Not Fade Away

Hartford Civic Center

Brilliant double Jerry/Phil solo. Who know that NFA could be such an exploration? A blazing 2nd set tour-closer from Spring '77. What else?!?

Good Lovin'

That Bob and Jerry both get barnburning warm ups (Bertha then this) pays off throughout this immortal show. Don't just start with the 2nd set!

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

Nice hot version. Not as tripped out as some and never melts down, but 18 minutes of fun.

Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1971
Ohio Theatre

Hard blistering acid rock with the '71 country vox. 6 minutes, but with the seeds within it that would become Playin' as we know it in '72.

Uncle John's Band
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Energetic encore. Rolling drums and tight energy ending a brilliant show like they were ready for another set.

Jerry has the voice of an angel here.

Perfect acoustic version. A beautiful gem from the early era.

Hey right on, Gerry O. That's a great description.

A long sweet ride through many transitive nightfalls. Quite interstellar without going completely inter-dimensional multiverse. No meltdown on this one, but a gorgeous Tighten Up Jam starting somewhere around 14:40.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Music Festival

A compact gem. The boys were out to impress England tonight. Doesn't have the overdrive power of the famous '71s, but a damned fine single-length version in front of what was like a totally unfamiliar audience.
